The applicant licensee shall submit a copy of the application, including the proposed days and times that the extended premises will be used, to the local governing body at least sixty days before submitting the application to the director. The local governing body or the local governing body's designee may review the application and provide an advisory recommendation to the director. If the local governing body or the local governing body's designee completes the review and provides an advisory recommendation to the director before the conclusion of the sixty-day period, the director may act on the application before the expiration of the sixty-day period. The local governing body may conduct an optional safety inspection of the extended premises on the day of the event, before the event if the extended premises are ready for use before the event or before the local governing body or designee has made its recommendations, whichever is soonest.
B. The application shall contain a plan and an accurate diagram that designates the proposed physical arrangement of the proposed extended premises, including the location of ingress and egress from the extended premises and other features of the extended premises as required by the director or as required to conform with applicable building code and fire safety requirements.
C. The applicant licensee shall submit with the application a security plan. The applicant licensee shall identify the security measures that will be implemented by the applicant licensee for the extended premises.

The licensee may not modify the physical arrangement of the extended premises to use additional space or a different space and may not modify the location of ingress or egress or the security to be provided without notifying the local governing body and the department at least ten days in advance of the proposed modification. The department may consult with the local governing body and may approve, reject or modify the proposed modification.
